When Dave and I got married we had two surviving Grandparents between the two of us: my two grandmas. One passed away shortly after we got married and oh how much I miss that dear lady. The other passed away on Thursday. When I got the news between doctor appointments in Wisconsin my heart was…
These Bear Lake posts are sifted through all the Fall chaos as I can get to them, but I think this is the last one. I’m posting this one from Wisconsin. Missing that lake a lot just about now! I wrote this a while back but haven’t had the chance to post yet. Here you…
Yes, I do realize it is now the end of September (how did that happen?!?), but I’m going to take bite-size pieces to catch up with documenting life around here starting with August. The way my girls make their beds:Notice how cute that is and not the fact that they desperately need new bedding…I’m waiting…

I’m finally back with my Thursday recipes…which I love to have here so I can look them up any time, anywhere I have internet. Here we go… My sisters are great cooks. They know how to whip up fancy stuff lickety-split. Come to think of it, my brothers are pretty good chefs too…and their wives…
Getting ready for family pictures at Bear Lake. Dave couldn’t resist snapping a picture when he passed by. That’s how we roll. Luckily Elle’s really into this “no heat” thing on her hair so she doesn’t need much help… Here’s a link to some of the pictures our talented Eva took: http://illumea.com/portrait_display_dis.asp?dir=portraits/EyresReunionBearLake2013&snd=wait
